Nokia's latest Ovi Maps release now available to N97 owners

N97 owners may like to know that Nokia has just made available its newest Ovi Maps which brings free voice-guided walk and drive turn-by-turn navigation for 74 countries.

The Ovi Maps update has actually been available for a short while already, but until now only supported the N97 mini, 5800 XpressMusic, 5800 Navigation Edition, E52, E55, E72, 5230, 6710 Navigator, 6730 classic and X6.

Keep in mind, to use this free navigation you must have first updated your N97 to the latest software version (2.0.x). However, in some markets the update might not yet be available, but Nokia is said to be providing a workaround for that in the near future.
